belief function and the transferable belief model

Beliefs are the result of uncertainty. Sometimes uncertainty is because of a random process and sometimes the result of lack of information. In the past, the only solution in situations of uncertainty has been the probability theory. But the past few decades, various theories of other variables and systems are put forward for the systems with no adequate and accurate information. One of these a...

Data Fusion in the Transferable Belief Model

When Shafer introduced his theory of evidence based on the use of belief functions, he proposed a rule to combine belief functions induced by distinct pieces of evidence. Since then, theoretical justifications of this socalled Dempster’s rule of combination have been produced and the meaning of distinctness has been assessed. We will present practical applications where the fusion of uncertain ...

La théorie des possibilités quantitatives épistémiques vue comme un modèle de croyances transférables très prudent. Quantified Epistemic Possibilty Theory seens as an Hyper Cautious Transferable Belief Model

We provide a semantic for the values given to possibility measures. It is based on the semantic of the transferable belief model, itself based on the same approach as used for subjective probabilities. Besides we explain how the conjunctive combination of two possibility measures corresponds to the hyper-cautious conjunctive combination of the belief functions induced by the possibility measures.

Considering Uncertainty in Modeling Historical Knowledge

Simplifying and structuring qualitatively complex knowledge, quantifying it in a certain way to make it reusable and easily accessible are all aspects that are not new to historians. Computer science is currently approaching a solution to some of these problems, or at least making it easier to work with historical data. In this paper, we propose a historical knowledge representation model takin...
